No, the way it works is they start an investigation so they can suspend it later. That way if he doesn’t do exactly what they want they want they can just re-open the investigation. It’s how they handled the Mayor of NYC.

To keep a scumbag loyal you need to keep the threat of jail time hanging over him.

Pretty obvious the ICC overstepped, and their politically motivated actions have hurt their reputation. The ICC’s ability to perform their purpose of justice has been significantly diminished by their political activism.

One of the talking heads on one of those business news shows summed up the theory about lowering interests rates as “it’s like burning down the house to cook a steak.”

There’s no plan here, it’s just a deranged old man surrounded by sycophants doing all of the things people previously told him wouldn’t work.

He purchased the sword which resulted in a trade deficit so he started imposing tariffs.

They don’t know enough about the world to know which ones to remove.

Giving them too much credit. They probably just had ChatGPT do everything.

LLMs are already at the point where they could replace middle management in most places. Of course that’s more of a reflection on how poor middle management is, not how good LLMs are.

And yeah the C-suite probably could be replaced too. Yeah the LLMs will hallucinate and make terrible decisions sometimes, but that’s not different than what the C-suite is already.

Wanting to replace skilled labour with AI is proof of that. They don’t know enough about what their employees do if they think an AI will work as a replacement. But if they can mange employees with an inaccurate understanding of what they do, then an AI with a inaccurate understanding of what employees could replace that manager.

I always liked the suggestion that biggest problem wasn’t actually the machines themselves, it was humans letting the machines think for them. We’re seeing a lot of that happening now.

a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again.

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

In the end it was really creepy to have a dead person have so much screen time in a movie.

Common sense plan to axe the climate!

Yeah there’s no better reason to use jury nullification than when government wants to kill a guy for political reasons.

You might be on to something. Might be angling for the Andrew Tate treatment from the Trump regime. Probably will renounce her Canadian citizenship and get a job on Fox News.

I assure you that I’m Canadian and I say Donald Trump is a miserable cunt all the time. Because he is.

Some people are cunts. Some cunts are men and some cunts are women. Both Pierre Pollievre and Danielle Smith are cunts. They’re miserable people that never say anything positive and seem to derive joy from fucking things up for everyone. They’re miserable cunts.

Yeah, if the pro-Palestinian movement was a non-violent resistance movement I’d be on board 100%. But unfortunately that’s not what it is.

Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai is someone we should support, someone who wanted peace. But he’s dead now and those who claim to want peace for Palestine seem to want to erase him from existence. He was inconvenient to their narrative so they will pretend he didn’t exist.

How can someone claim to be to be pro-Palestinian if they have no empathy for Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai, a Palestinian that wanted there to be an end to this war? It doesn’t seem like a pro-Palestinian movement to me, it just looks like an anti-Israel movement.

Have you seen a photo of what tanks in combat look like these days? They have cages welded on top of them. Also the hatches can be closed. A lot of tankers like to have the hatch open so the commander can have have more visibility, but it’s not a necessity.

There have been ways to take out a tank with missiles for a long time now. The reason why they’re still used is that air defenses exist and nothing beats the cost efficiency of moving a big gun close to the enemy and firing a lot of cheap ammunition at them.

Also are you going to tell civilians they can move back into their towns based solely on drones? If the civilians are behind a bunch of tanks, they’re safe because the drones will go after the tanks before going after the civilians. You need soldiers to hold ground. A soldier in a tank is going to be harder for a drone to kill than a soldier that’s not in a tank.

Yes drones are effective, but drones can’t hold ground and keep civilians safe.

We all hope for peace, but some of us understand that Hamas is incompatible with peace.

Yes because Russia will build more tanks and other equipment in the next decade. Not a problem if Europe builds up too. But that will be a problem if Europe does nothing.

If Russia were an immediate threat, Europe would have no choice but to give Trump whatever he wants so the US will protect Europe. But with Russian forces being decimated by this war, Europe has the opportunity to build it’s own arms industry to be able to produce it’s own weapons to be able to counter Russia in a decade’s time.

Drones don’t hold ground, soldiers do. Soldiers that have tanks are going to be more effective than those without them.

ITT: A lot of of leftists seeing evidence that they have supported fascists and having to choose between remaining a leftist or going full tankie.
